Ducky

If it isn't an injury and he is re-signed for anywhere approaching 6m per, Chevy should lose his job. He's the captain and he gives this kind of an effort? If it is his hernia, he shouldn't have started the season until it was properly healed.

Chychrun would be a nice add. We need LHD help now though. Stuart can't cut the mustard and until very recently,neither can Chiarot. Ladd stands in front of the net and picks up garbage goals or at least he has in the past. That's a really good Q about 1LW, too. Connor is on the way but he won't even be a rookie for a while. Staf is our 1LW and he should be our 2RW... I've been saying it since late November, the Jets aren't going to see the post-season this year. It sure would be nice to get a really high pick this year. Matthews would be ideal but there are 3 or 4 other players that are going to be stars. Bottom 6? Keep Armia, Copp, Ehlers, Lowry and hope Lemieux makes the team next year. I know Thorburn will be there because he is signed for another season! Maybe Petan and Lipon will be ready? Not so much today's game but I have liked Ladd, Lowry, Burmi as of late.

Ladd and Hutch have a psychologist?

Tampa says a quick no to even up for Petan on Drouin.

Hutch was handed the starting job twice and failed. Send him down. Trade Ladd. Get Hamonic. Sign an UFA Like Okposo or Boedler this summer.

Bogo said he didn't say it to Cox.......when asked if he asked for a trade he wouldn't answer.

I remember watching it live.

oops, I was reading his stats from this year with the Wings. He is on pace for 58 points in 35 games this year.

Dylan Larkin had 28 points in 40 games for Michigan last year. Connor has 30 points in 18 games for Michigan so far this year.

Moose next year?

just watched the end of the Michigan kicking Michigan State's arse. Connor got two goals and at least one assist. The announcers kept saying how good he was and how he was, by far, the best player on the ice. 8-2 Michigan over Michigan State.

Lemieux won player of the month in the OHL.

Helle/Comrie is the future.

A little bit early in his career to be saying that in my opinion.....Hutch had a better start if you compare there first games. I think he is a keeper and will be a really good goalie in the league for years but he has played 14 NHL games.

no two people will agree on all but this is my opinion and 3/4 of the way through the season there would be some big changes probably. Trouba, Lowry, and Ladd have all started playing better in the last so many games for example.

Here is my half season report card on the Jets. If a 4th liner plays better than expected, he might get a better grade than a 1st liner not doing as well as expected but may be still being better than the 4th liner. Chevy C Gets marks for not making any rash decisions while the Jets aren’t doing well and for stocking the cupboard with great picks at the draft. Loses marks for letting the Buff/Ladd situation drag past Christmas and not doing anything about the LHD depth. Maurice C Started Petan when he should have been sent down. Not very good special teams. Playing Stu/Peluso too much. Marks for switching around lines looking for good combos and for not letting the team get down and to continue trying to play the right way. Forwards Ladd C- Very inconsistent play at the beginning of the season. Starting to play better in the last 7-8 games has saved him from a D grade. The nastiness in his game is starating to co me out again. Little B Has played fairly consistent and probably through some injuries. Second leading scorer that kills penalties and plays the PP. Wheeler A+ Has played well all season and is in the top 10 in scoring in the league and is a team leader for the Jets. He also kills penalties and plays the PP. Best player on the team all year. Perreault B Started slowly and that cost him a B+ grade. Excellent on the PP and on pace for a 53 point season. Gives it his all every shift same as Wheeler. Finishes checks and is good with the puck. If Myers played with his moxie, he'd be a Norris contender. Scheif B Scheif went MIA for a sting earlier or I would have gave him a B+ or an A. Developing very nicely and is on pace for 47 points. Probably be the captain of the team one day. Ehlers C Started nicely but has slowed considerably. The fast start saved him from a D grade. Needs to be better in his own end without the puck and has to put some points on the board and become more consistent offensively. Staf B + One of the most consistent Jets. Plays PP, PK, does everything that is asked of him and scores big goals. Lowry D A horrible start to the season saw him shipped to the Moose until Scheif was hurt. Playing better since the recall. Burmi C+ His game has come around nicely in the last 10 games and especially on the line with Lowry and Ladd. Good defensively. Needs to shoot more. Thorbs B- Another player that does everything that is asked of him. Copp B- Copp hasn’t looked out of place and is very good defensively. He is having a very steady year. Armia C+ Not many games but certainly hasn’t looked out of place. Good positioning in the D zone, he has soft hands and is a good passer. Peluso C Peluso played well when he was called on. Petan C- Nic was a bit of a disappointment and was sent down to continue his development and is doing well on the Moose. Halischuk B- Again, not many games but played the PK and brought a lot of energy to the 4th line. Defencemen Buff B Has been the best D man this year. He hasn’t taken too many games off and a LOT of the Jets’ Offense starts with him. Better defensively than most people give him credit for and breaks up a lot of p lays because he has such great anticipation and sees plays developing. Trouba C- His playing the last 10-12 games has brought him up from a D grade. Started badly and was downright horrible some games earlier this season. Myers C+ He has played well after an early start but takes off a bit too much still and gets caught up ice too often. His hockey IQ doesn’t match his skill. Has played well on the PP as of late. Enstrom B- Toby has been our best defensive defenseman this year. Great first passes out of the D zone. Too small to win many battles against the boards brings his grade down fro m a B+. Chiarot D Has played well below expectations and was sat for a spell in November. Inconsistent play this year. Stuart D- A train wreck and a defenseman that makes poor decisions with the puck. The worst grade possible. Pardy C- He got in for a few games but didn’t leave a great impression. Slow skater. Postma C- Not many games at all but not the best defense-oriented defenseman on the team. Goalies Hutch D Started well but hasn’t won a game he has started since the end of October. Nuff said. Helle A- I really wanted to give him an A but getting pulled after a poor showing the other week brings it down….if he had more games under his belt, it might not have. It’s still very early in his career but he looks to be the future goaltender for the Jets for years to come. Pavs C- Didn’t play well or consistent before getting hurt and needs to play better when he returns as either he or Hutch will be moved….farm or trade. Average team mark is a low C. Average management mark is a C. Did I forget anyone?

I agree with a whole lot of this...Jets aren't going to make the playoffs, especially with their schedule. I do think the Ducks make the playoffs in their division though.

they aren't making the playoffs

Ehlers does take dives...he should stay on his feet more. Part of the reason Drouin was sent down is because he could be without clearing waivers....lots of other players might have been claimed on waivers and Drouin doesn't need waivers to be sent down.

Wheeler should be there....end of story.

Buff is the face of the team here too.

"clearly has an impact in making passes outside of the scoring chance area, and it’s becoming clearer, that along with overhandling the puck, there’s an element of perimeter play at hand. Being smaller in stature, this seems logical, however, impact players find methods to move into scoring areas – or open up space in scoring areas by luring defenders or using passing to create the event that forces a goaltender to make a move and open up parts of the net.Being on the outside is not a bad characteristic if a playmaker can use that to their advantage, however, I’m remaining a little skeptical." Ehlers? nope Drouin. 79 assists for 108 points and a remarkable 213 points in the final 95 games in the QMJHL.

Good, stay on your feet and try to make a play, this isn't the juniors...

Goalie changes his mind daily on what is going to happen with these two. I think Ladd re-signs but unsure of Buff.
